Abstract:
Studies addressing the molecular aspects of the postulated cross-reactivity between the HLA-B27 antigens and the bacteria known to precipitate arthritis (e.g., Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia and Campylobacter) are reviewed. In conclusion, the necessity for further research into the pathogenesis of arthritis is stressed.
